ABSTRACT: Metal additive manufacturing is an important branch of AM, which provides an effective method for the innovative manufacturing of metal parts. Here, flow chart and main techniques of metal additive manufacturing are firstly described according to the used material types. Many application examples of metal additive manufacturing are then listed based on application value. The summary is finally given to point development direction of metal additive manufacturing in the future. Additive manufacturing, which is an effective supplement to traditional methods, will play an important role in intelligent and digital manufacturing.
